Yup.
Looked at them all at Lowe's this morning. No likey.
I found one I could live with but they're too expensive.

Or since these are thermoelectric are there no cooling lines lime a normal refrigerator?

No, and it's not thermoelectric.
It's compressor driven with an integrated evaporator plate in trhe back of the unit. In order to control condensation I've added two 60mm fans trained on the evaporator plate. Any condensate that forms is quickly evaporated and recontrolled by 40 ounces of HCM beads.
There is also a hydra in each cooler that helps with the humidity level, replacing any lost water vapor and constantly conditioning the beads.

Great job Scott! That is the thought I had for my end table humi.
Are those drawers one stick deep or two?

Hey Costa, this answers my question.

Ideally, I'd like to make a scallop cut or use a scallop pull.
I have a router but I don't have a router table and I can't decide on how I'd set up to do it.
I'm afraid to bore a hole for fear I won't like it, but that's what I'd most like to do.
I even thought of a little hole, or taking a half moon out of the top of each drawer.
I'm trying to be patient and find just the right thing. It's not going real well.

They're two sticks deep, but I could make them as deep as I want.
I thought about making the next cooler deeper, but I've since decided to make them identical.

How much space is there for a knob? It looks like the drawer front is pretty close to the glass.

An inch to an inch and a half.
I can make most anything work. I might have to countersink a bit, but that's fine, too. Albert is sending me handles, so I'm good to go.
Hopefully I can get the second cooler's drawers done tomorrow.

Could you make them one cigar deep? Or would the drawer slides hit each other? When I build mine thats what I want. I don't want to have to move cigars to see what i have.

You could, but there'd be a lot of wasted room. The glides take up a certain amount of space. There are cheapo glides that don't take up as much space, but they break in 10 or 15 minutes.
So you'd basically be turning a 1000 count humi into a 100 count humi.
Doesn't make much sense, ya know?
You could make a 2 deep drawer with a lift out top tray. That'd work.

Thanks for the offer, I sure appreciate it!!!
Albert is sending pulls, so I'm good to go. I'll keep in mind that you can make that sort of thing, I might be able to use them in the future.
I saw a very nice pull at Lowes that looked like wrought iron wire. It was cool. Kinda open and basketed. I liked it.

That is a top notch install. I am extremely jealous.

Great job. It looks excellent.

Thanks, buddy.
I hope I can get to the other one today. I'm excited about getting it done. I have a list of things to do that's about a mile long and I didn't get to bed yet. I'm getting there, though.
I hate running the table saw when I haven't slept, I'm pretty attached to my fingers.

wow that looks really nice. it looks like thats what it was made for.
